My Project

Help us end the school year with some fun hands-on learning activities. These projects are fun for the kids and something they remember every year. It is fun for the kindergarteners to experience these activities as we go through learning about parts of a plant, and the lifecycle of ladybugs through our science curriculum.

These activities are a great way to end our year with a memorable learning experience.

Students will make a science folder, where they can draw picture and write about what they are noticing each day. Once the flowers have started to sprout, they will get to take them home with them. This is something that gets the students excited as they can share what they have done at school with someone special at home. We will also watch the ladybugs change and grow, then release them as a class onto our playground. The students get so excited about coming to see how the ladybugs have grown and changed from day to day.

Mrs. Eustice will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by June 25.
